Estimating the term…
The magnetic head tester of the present invention drives a medium (40) for rotation to float a slider (10) from the medium (40) so as to test a magnetic head for its characteristics, and the tester comprises a holder (20) removably holding the slider (10) opposed to the surface of the medium (40), and suspension means (24) provided in the holder (20) which has the same function as a suspension supporting the slider (10) in a real apparatus. With this tester, tests can be executed by exchanging the slider (10) alone, and it is unnecessary to discard the suspension even when the magnetic head is judged to be out or order, thus loss of production cost for the suspension and processing cost for assembling the slider in the suspension can be avoided.
A magnetic head tester for testing characteristics of a magnetic head, in which a medium is rotated to float a slider from the medium, comprising:
